There are four ancient poems: thinking about a quiet night, complaining about a jade class, traveling on Huangsha Road at night in Xijiang, drinking alone with the moon, and Guan Shanyue.
1, "Silent Night Thinking" Tang Libai.
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?
I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.
Translation:
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the railing beside the well, as if the ground was frosted.
I couldn't help looking up at the bright moon in the sky outside the window that day, and I couldn't help but bow my head and think of my hometown in the distance.
2, "Jade Resentment" Tang Libai.
Dew fell on the steps of jade, and the night was long. Dew wet the stone.
Go back to my room and put down the crystal curtain, still looking at the exquisite moon through the curtain.
Translation:
Dewdrops were born on the steps made of jade. Being independent for a long time in the middle of the night, dew soaked the stockings.
Go back to the room and put down the crystal curtains, still looking at the delicate autumn moon through the curtains.
3. Song Sushi's "Walking along Huangsha Road in Xijiang Moonlight Night".
The moon on the horizon rose to the top of the tree, scaring away the magpies perched on the branches.
The cool evening breeze seems to have spread to cicadas in the distance.
Translation:
The bright moon on the horizon rose to the treetops, scaring the magpies perched on the branches.
The cool evening breeze seems to hear the cicadas in the distance; In the fragrance of rice flowers, people are talking about the harvest year, and there are waves of frogs in their ears, as if talking about the harvest year.
4, "Drinking the Bright Moon Alone" Tang Libai.
Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone.
Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.
Translation:
Put a pot of wine among the flowers, and no relatives and friends will pour it themselves.
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon into three people before the picture.
